Gey some pepermint shrimp. They will do quick work of them!

That will be fine for the corals I have in isolation.

But I'd still need a multi-prong approach. That's where the Berghia Nudibranches come in.

I have a 12"x12"x12" chamber of live rock in my sump, and its tightly packed. Peppermint shrimp won't work there.

I can place on in there and let it go to work.

I put my pepermint in my sump thats full of stacked live rocks and I dont see a spec of aptasia. They will work there way around the rocks.
They are magical creatures. I had a frag tank plagued with aptasia and in 2 days they were wiped clean!

I have often wondered. Who is going to craft a magic pill that will eradicate the son of satan. This person will be the next retiree. I’d pay $250 for a single pill if it would sterilize my tank of this creature. God knows I spend more than that annually controlling this trash. The only thing I put below the food chain would be divorce attorneys. But perhaps a I’m freshly raw in this department :)

I've tried peppermint shrimp numerous times and never saw any difference in the aiptaisia level.

In my latest infestations I used F-Aiptasia to take down the larger ones, and got an Aiptasia Eating File Fish. Today I can't find a single Aiptasia polyp in my tank.
